Morning Meeting is an integral part of the Responsive Classroom approach to teaching. Morning Meeting consists of 4 parts:
* The Greeting gives students a chance to acknowledge their classmates and to be acknowledged themselves. Some of our favorite greetings include Serpiente (Serpent), La pelota (the ball) and Momia/Vampiro (Mummy/Vampire).
* The Activity provides a chance for continuous class bonding and interaction. Some of our favorite activities include Museo de Cera (Wax Museum), Ritmo (Rhythm), and 21.
* Sharing time lets students share about themselves and get to know their classmates better. Also, as an immersion school, it gives them a chance to practice correct Spanish grammar and learn new vocabulary!
* The Morning Message tells students what to expect of the day ahead and practice teamwork by reading the message as a whole class, in pairs, or in small groups. Additionally, students practice reading, learn new vocabulary, and work on grammar during our message time.
